Dear Sonnie,

Can you please tell me when or on what instances can an employee ask or request for immediate resignation from the employer (even the company says they need one month notice)?

Would serious family conflicts like parents separating causing the employee from suffering from emotional stress, hence inability to work efficiently anymore to last one more month be a valid or just cause for immediate resignation? What would Article 285 constitute?

Please advise.

Thanks,
Girlie

Hi Joyce,

What kind of harassment are we dealing with here? Sexual harassment or verbally abusive boss?

Can you please share ur opinion regarding work harassment? What can employees do if they have been victimized by abusive superiors without fear of reprisals.

Thank you

I find it wise for employers to call their employees for regular or monthly meetings where by they can update each other on rules and regulations governing their working places or them ;under which if broken,one would be prepared to face the consequences.I wonder how many employees are give a hard or soft copy of these rules so that they can know what is expected of them and the grey areas which should avoid.I think alot of advocasy is required here.The earlier they start the better.When people are well informed on these rules ,cases of misconduct will reduce drastically or what do you people think?

oh… i understood the idea that it wouldn’t be taken as a rule over all the companies around. anyways, i was just hoping to get a bit of idea about legal procedures once you do get fired or so to speak. anyways, thanks for reacting and sharing. till next visit…

@Andianka– Sorry, I can not throw my 2 cents in an actual case because we are not privy to all the details. As I said in my post, the offense need not be habitual, if the impact to the organization is big. Equally important is the observance of due process.

@ Jhay– Paul is correct

@ Paul– thanks for the visit and contributing in the discussion
